 Loving your family and appreciating your family and found family as well. And welcome back to my channel I hope you're well today. We are tackling a very important topic and that is Books that made me cry For those of you that have been around for a while, you know, I cry quite easily I cry a lot. I cry all the time me trying to decide what to have for lunch No, except for the books books can very easily get a tear out of me today I thought it would go through some of the ones that made me cry at the most because I think at the moment I'm craving books that give me that emotional reaction that like pack an emotional punch I want stuff that really makes me feel something like deep down Paws on the heartstrings. So I thought it would be a good time to make this video Before we get any further make sure you subscribe if you haven't already and click the bell button So notified whenever I post because It helps my self-esteem The first book was one I read quite recently and is The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah. I had mixed feelings about this book I didn't know as much as everyone else I read it in my highest rated books. We do like reading the highest rate books on my tbl Which I will link but I just didn't feel like it was a five star I don't understand why it's a five star for everyone, but The ending killed me. I was I was sobbing ugly tears. I was sobbing ugly tears like I Start laughing at Kim when she's crying because I just can't help it She has this ugly crying face that she makes it had me it had me So this is sort of two sisters during World War two who follow very different paths During the period in France one is a mother And so she stays at home with her daughter and it's kind of the story of a German soldier living in her house And then the other sister is much more. I thought the word rang buntious I guess she feels like she aspires to do Greater things not that being a mother in World War two isn't great and so she gets embroiled in a Secret plot. Let's just say that I don't want to say anything more because I don't want to spoil anything I enjoyed this I gave it like four four stars, maybe just four stars But it's not a new favorite. However, if you want to cry This is guaranteed like even people I know who don't cry a lot. This made them cry I think that's all the books sets out to do and I think the book does it well. It comes in Honestly The girl did it to her day himself Like it says hey, this is what I set out to do and I'm gonna achieve it You're gonna cry next on my list for a book that this was the beginning This was the beginning of me crying on the tube and boy did I cry? I was a hot mess I was a hot mess Oh my god, okay, I finished it. Oh my god. I need to calm down So it's love all brewed by Suzanne Lafleur. This is a pretty unknown middle grade However, this was one of my favorite books when I was a kid I adored it and it's a story of a girl whose dad and sister have died in a car crash which she and her mom survived and through grief her mom feels unable to cope anymore and abandons her and it's a story of her moving in with her grandma and Learning about grief herself learning how to move on from such a terrible situation and Learning why her mother feels the way that she did. I want people to read this book If you're looking to get into more middle grade, this is an old-ass book I bought it for like one pound Abe books. You can probably find it really cheap a lot of places I remember there was this scene. This is mild spoilers So skip ahead a little bit if you don't know here, but there's this scene where it's her sister's birthday and She says to her grandma like can I go get her present because she got her a present So she gets the present and puts it on the dining room table And then the grandma goes and got a present that she got to and they just put the presents on the table and like Look at them together and oh my god. Oh My god, it's so sad. I'm about to cry right now. It is one of the saddest things I've ever read I say this every time I read it, but I think it's just a beautiful story of grief I think for kids to learn about grief this way is just Wonderful and I gave it five stars when I read it and I'm 20 so like I think it's a story and a Emotion that just transcends age. I cried. I'd say the last half of this book and it's like 300 pages I was just a sobbing Mess, you know, you can't even like breathe like it was I was crying for so long after reading this I know that Gavin's readathon the believer thumb believe in the impossible readathon is coming up Which is a middle-grade readathon in May and I just checked out the prompts and one is read a book featuring a family relationship And this would be perfect. This would be so good for that prompt like it's all about family and Loving your family and appreciating your family and found family as well It's one of the best middle-grade I've ever read like nothing compares nothing compares I think it's the most underrated book. I've ever read. I've never had anyone else talk about it And I love it. I could reread it right now and enjoy myself like it Kind of honestly, I think I was really ahead of my time The next book I want to talk about is The Wincher of the Witch by Katherine Arden Do I need to say it read the bear and the nightingale read the bear and the nightingale series Do I even need to say it? Do I even need to say it? I'm fashion. I'm style and if they can't keep up then let's say prop I cried right at the beginning. There's something that happens in this book right near the beginning. I was I Don't even want to think about it. I don't even want to think about it I cried the thing about in a series when something happens when you're so attached to the characters It's one of your favorite series is a series is series and something happens that makes you cry It's unparalleled in the third book in the series the crying is unparalleled because you you have followed these characters through two books already. I Want to reread this series and the stuff that happens in this book I'm just not sure if I'm ready for it, but then also I cried right at the end as well Oh, I tell a lie. I cried at the end of Galma Tower as well, which is a second book Yeah, I cried in that one So this whole series if you want a good cry if you want a prolonged cry with three books And this series is the way to go so in the very nightingale, we follow Vassia who is a young girl in old Russia As she discovers magical powers as she speaks to the house spirits and tries to preserve old magic in Russia And as her power grows her responsibility grows It's a story of family of responsibility of Self-discovery of self-belief. There's a bit of romance. It is the most well-rounded series. I've ever read like I And the writing in this is some of the best writing I've ever read I cannot wait to read everything else that Catherine Arden puts out because it felt like you were reading an old Russian fairy tale It felt so magical and so special Sometimes I even just wanted to cry in this book seeing the journey that Vassia had gone on got gone on Gone on from the first book into this She really grows and you grow with her when you are as attached to characters as you are in this The crying It was ugly. I'm glad I've been a booktube because to film that crying I think it would be it would be on par with the crying from love Aubrey. Next is a book that everyone Recommends for you to read when you want to cry and that is a monster calls by Patrick Ness I'd particularly recommend the illustrated edition and oh my god Oh my god I remember I read this from my the PJ D'aethon which again I'll link the readathon that me and Rachel Marie ran I remember when I said I was gonna read it everyone that day was telling me Megan You were gonna cry like you were gonna cry so much. I was like Yeah, yeah, whatever, you know Sure, I'm gonna cry, whatever Cis Oh Oh I cried a lot and this was one of those ones where even after you finish the book you spend like half an hour there going like Having to try and control your breathing this is about a young boy whose mother is dying of cancer and a monster appears in the garden and Starts telling him stories and so you're kind of following the stories with the monster and the story that is going on his mother again, this is a brilliant book for Grief or learning to deal with loss or the prospect of loss like love Aubrears again This is kind of for young audiences, but I would say all audiences could read it. It is beautifully written one of the most heartwarming stories ever Heartwarming, I don't know if that's the right word, but it's devastating, but it also Gives you almost a bit of a bit of hope. It's one of the most original ideas You know the way that the grief and the the worry is channeled in this book is just very special And I cried again for a good half of this book It set me off and then I could not stop and there's something about reading a book when you're just Tears are streaming down your face for like a hundred pages of the book What? the most Hittiest experience for me to go through how horrible I am. I can't believe what I'm reading right now And then finally is a book that I wanted to mention a book that I don't think a lot of people cry at Or I don't think a lot of people mentioned that you'll cry at, but I cried at Gemina by Amy Kofman and Jay Kristoff Now many of you know this is one of my favorite series. I read them all at the start of this year I am obsessed with them. This is a science fiction series told through logs and online chats and video surveillance footage and She's incredible. She's a beautiful person Her talent and brilliance is beyond She surprises me all the time. It is Massively down. I love the originality of the format in this Gemina is the second in the Illumina series And I think it's probably my favorite. I really enjoy the characters in this one And I really enjoyed the story arc in this one too, but the ending I was crying a lot I was crying a lot I became very attached to characters in this one and that's I also I think that's so brilliantly done in this series when you're only becoming attached to the characters through like chat logs and stuff But I these are some of my favorite characters in literature like I love them all this ending had me crying And then shook it had me crying and then like When the tears freeze and you freeze and you're just Frozen I think if you want to cry and maybe read the first book in the series I know a lot of people read the first book and then struggle to get to the second one I don't know why I was like picking up straight away It will make you cry at the end it will make you cry a lot of people don't mention that and I don't know if I'm the only one Who cries but like I sobbed I Solved and yeah Gemina is one of my favorite books of this year so far So I definitely recommend it. So there we have it. That is all my book recommendations to make you cry I hope they make you ugly cry as much as they did for me It's so weird. I'm like, I hope it makes you cry I hope you cry.
